NAR has timed this campaign to coincide with the REALTOR® Rally and 2012 Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo in Washington, D.C., the week of May 14, 2012.  Flood Insurance is one of five talking points with members of Congress.  NAR will keep working to reauthorize national flood insurance before the program expires on May 31, 2012.
